Namespace: DevExpress.Diagram.Core

Assembly: DevExpress.Diagram.v18.2.Core.dll

Declaration

C#

public static ShapeDescription CreateSvgShape(
    string shapeId,
    string name,
    Stream svgStream,
    bool isQuick = false,
    Func<Size, IEnumerable<Point>> getConnectionPoints = null,
    string backgroundColorCode = null,
    string strokeColorCode = null
)

VB.NET

Public Shared Function CreateSvgShape(
    shapeId As String,
    name As String,
    svgStream As Stream,
    isQuick As Boolean = False,
    getConnectionPoints As Func(Of Size, IEnumerable(Of Point)) = Nothing,
    backgroundColorCode As String = Nothing,
    strokeColorCode As String = Nothing
) As ShapeDescription

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
shapeId	String	A string value that identifies the shape.
name	String	A string value that is the name of the shape.
svgStream	Stream	A System.IO.Stream object that contains the SVG image.

Optional Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
isQuick	Boolean	False	true to display the shape within the Quick Shapes category of the Shapes toolbox; otherwise, false.
getConnectionPoints	Func<Size, IEnumerable<Point>>	*null*	A function that specifies the coordinates of connection points.
backgroundColorCode	String	*null*	A string value that represents the code of the color to be swapped with the theme’s background color.
strokeColorCode	String	*null*	A string value that represents the code of the color to be swapped with the theme’s foreground color.

Returns

Type	Description
ShapeDescription	A ShapeDescription object that represents the shape.

Remarks

The following snippet illustrates how to create an SVG shape with a connection point in the center and add it to the toolbox.

C#

var stencil = new DevExpress.Diagram.Core.DiagramStencil("OfficeStencil", "Office Shapes");
using (System.IO.FileStream stream = System.IO.File.Open("..\\..\\Armchair.svg", System.IO.FileMode.Open)) {
    var shapeDescription = DevExpress.Diagram.Core.ShapeDescription.CreateSvgShape("Armchair", "Armchair", stream, false, (s) => new[] { new System.Windows.Point(s.Width / 2, s.Height / 2) });
    stencil.RegisterShape(shapeDescription);
}
DiagramToolboxRegistrator.RegisterStencil(stencil);

VB.NET

Dim stencil = New DevExpress.Diagram.Core.DiagramStencil("OfficeStencil", "Office Shapes")
Using stream As System.IO.FileStream = System.IO.File.Open("..\..\Armchair.svg", System.IO.FileMode.Open)
    Dim shapeDescription = DevExpress.Diagram.Core.ShapeDescription.CreateSvgShape("Armchair", "Armchair", stream, False, Function(s) { New System.Windows.Point(s.Width \ 2, s.Height \ 2) })
    stencil.RegisterShape(shapeDescription)
End Using
DiagramToolboxRegistrator.RegisterStencil(stencil)
